Poland Springs Marathon Kickoff kicked my ass

Ugh... That's what I get for trying to run the most I have ever run (5M) after not run for about two weeks... I tweaked my ankle and my knee (different legs). I have been limping around all of yesterday and today. Gah! I had to walk a little bit at the end of each mile and then most of the last one (which is when my knee started acting up).

I am really hoping that I am all healed up for Saturday's 2.5M run. So damn frustrating!

Gear acquired

During my brief sojourn outside the confines of my apartment cum quarantine area I popped over to a local sporting goods store and picked up light gloves and a light headband for Sunday. I figure I might as well plan to run the race and see what happens. I am hopeful that I will feel up to the task.

Nervous about Sunday

I had to stay home from work Thursday, and am going to need to do the same Friday. I have a race on Sunday which will be the longest distance I have ever run (5M) and it looks like I may have to do it cold - ie without having run for like a week and half.

In addition to this is the difficulty in that I need to pick up some more gear for the run - its going to be chilly and I have no headband nor gloves suitable for running in.

Grr.
